Hmmmmm!
The opposite effect is when you've had the cruise set at motorway speeds and accidently hit resume while trying to cancel the indicator after turning out of a junction into slow moving traffic!

All GM boxes seem to do this, part of the warm up procedure when cold. Best solution is to press the snowflake 'winter mode' button which forces it to change up.
I sometimes do this when it gets on my nerves, just until I get to the end of the road.
NB. Don't try and pull out of a junction with this switched on!
The software update doesn't alter the cold start programme.

MDTM has done the climate as well but I haven't meddled with it much yet, I have noticed that it seems a bit calmer now on startup.
I will post something up when i've seen / heard how it behaves in the day if it's warm.

V6 to V9
Just had the gearbox updated by MDTM and the difference is amazing!
The changes that I have noticed so far are that the car seems to pick up far better, you don't get that 'clutch slipping' sensation where you have loads of revs but the box isn't using them, the throttle seems far more connected to the 'box if you see what I mean.
The changes are so smooth now that you barely notice them, as other people have said on here, sometimes the only way you realise the box has changed up or down is by the rev counter.
The Lockup and thud when the box eventually decides to change down appears to have gone now as well, never quite understood the circumstances that cause this to happen, but on my short drive back and taking a town route to try and replicate it, I have not been able to reproduce it.
Quite simply, if you haven't had this update done on your Omega then you really have too! It is the best single upgrade that can be done IMO.

Working in local government is incredibly boring! However, when the local MP has recently changed roles within central Government you get to see something a little different!
Outside we have two unmarked SVO 3.2 Omega's (one saloon, one estate), 15 inch CD wheels on the lead car, extra front and rear buttons, run flat tyres, wing mounted aerials, bullet proof glass etc etc......
Now, shall I ask the nice Armed officer to put an OOF flyer under the wipers? LOL

I 'bit' and that gave him reason to retaliate so I apologise if I caused him to reply, best plan is to ignore posts like that in the future IMHO.
I completely agree with all said on here, The site and the Admins are all first class!

That's great James... I'd hot foot it down there and see if you can get any other blemishes sorted out on the bodywork while someone else is picking up the tab!

TBH that's not really fair on the mods, perhaps, if people agree, we could all try and make our subject titles relevant and advise 'newbies' to do the same.

Forgive me if you think i'm having a rant, but I do feel that posts in the Omega General Help section should have a title that relates to the problem.
There are so many that just say 'Help!!!!!' 'Got this problem' etc, just makes it difficult to find a topic when you are researching a problem and also means you end up reading posts that you can't offer any help on.
What do others feel?
